Facts About the Munich Airport

• Munich Airport named in honor of Franz Josef Strauss, the former Prime Minister of Bavaria has two passenger terminals, served by two runways in addition to extensive cargo and maintenance facilities capable of handling wide-bodied aircraft such as the A380 Airbus.
• Most of the facilities located at the airport can be found between its two runways. The western part of the terminal is divided into two sections by the approach road and railway. The southern half containing the cargo and maintenance facilities with the northern half housing the administrative buildings, long term parking lot and visitor’s center. The section is followed by the west apron leading to Terminal 1 continues to the Airport Center Terminal 2 and the east apron. Notably in 2014 the airport handled between 20 to 25 million passengers at each terminal.
• Munich Terminal 1 opened in 1992 is divided into five modules designated A, B, C, D, and E and can handle a total of over 25 million passengers annually. Each module is self-contained and operates as its own sub-terminal with modules A and D reserved to handle the arrivals and departures for flights within the Schengen-area and individual parking and driveways on its landside; while modules B and C used for outside flight destinations with module E handling only aircraft arrivals. Hall F which is a separate module located just outside of Terminal 2 is used for flights requiring increased security such as flights to and from Israel.
• Additional checkpoints for a small number of flights departing from Terminal 1 are located in the airport’s central area designated Z which included many of the airport’s shopping and restaurant facilities and suburban railway station. Terminal 1 is used by all airlines who are not members or associated with Star Alliance with special consideration to Turkey’s national flag carrier Turkish Airlines. However due to overcrowding at the airport’s Terminal 2 in 2007 the Lufthansa subsidiary low-cost airline Germanwings GmbH and the former affiliate and commercial leisure German airline Condor Flugdienst both relocated their operations back to Terminal 1. Some of the major airlines served by Terminal 1 include, US Airways, Air Berlin, Delta Air Lines, Qatar Airways and several others.
